EWW Fund Description

EWW Factset Analytics Insight

EWW provides broad vanilla exposure to the Mexican stock market. The fund's tilts away from our benchmark are borne out of necessity as opposed to choice. Since the Mexican market is very top heavy, EWW has to reconfigure market cap weightings slightly to stay RIC-compliant. While the fund retains concentrated exposure, this reweighting tilts the fund slightly smaller and leads to minor sector tilts. Despite these differences, however, the fund aligns with our benchmark well. It’s worth noting that EWW has almost no technology, energy or utilities stocks, as the companies in these sectors are privately owned or run by the government. EWW’s massive asset base underpins its strong liquidity - offering cheap and easy access to investors of all stripes. Its expense ratio is lower than most single-country emerging market funds, and tracking data often shows true holding costs as less than the fee. Overall, EWW is a good proxy for the Mexican equity market and is our Analyst Pick for the segment.
